Psac Honors Entire Esu Offensive Line

The PSAC honored the entire East Stroudsburg offensive line, along with fullback A.J. Oliveri, for their performances in Saturday's 35-28 win over nationally ranked Shepherd.

Sophomore center Joe Burton, junior guard Jim Sodano, senior guard Shepard Alston, junior tackles Dan Bratton and Mike Serafin, and Oliveri were cited for paving the way for ESU's 453 yards of total offense in the win that propelled the Warriors to fourth in the Northeast Region rankings.

Running behind that line, which averages 6-4, 305 pounds a man, the Warriors (4-0) finished with 302 yards rushing, 160 of them by junior Andre Castiglioni.

It was Castiglioni's fourth straight 100-yard game, and with 590 yards for the season the junior from Reading is more than halfway toward Stewart Ford's single-season school record of 1,109 yards.
